Proper Off-Roader

Sundance
TLCB’s luxury yacht, paid for by the riches that blogging Lego brings, doesn’t get mentioned much here. We like our privacy, and it’s hard enough keeping the multitude of attractive girls away as it...

Blockin’ Baja
It’s been a while since the last Elven hit-and-run. We’re under no illusions that the recent harmony was in any way due to a change in nature of TLCB Elves, they simply hadn’t found a creation quick...

In the End*
There’s are many types of loader. The ‘backhoe loader‘, the ‘front loader‘, and what we have here; the ‘end loader’. They largely seem interchangeable to us, but the difference between them appears to...

’80s Joyride
Volkswagen weren’t the only car manufacturer to attach the letters ‘G’, ‘T’ and ‘I’ to a family hatchback on the 1980s… The Peugeot 205 GTI was an absolute sensation when it arrived in 1986. Powered...

Bug Squash
The last remotely controlled Lego creation found by our Elves produced no squashings of any kind. That can not be said today. This is Horcik Designs’ ‘EXP. Buggy’, an all-wheel-drive Power Functions...

Ride of the Valkyries*

What a Knob
A lot of knobs. No, not TLCB Staff, nor the summation of your Mom’s summer, but this properly mechanical Technic skid-steer excavator by Flickr’s Thirdwigg. There are knobs for the boom arm, knobs for...

Grab Some Wood
This giant claw with a vehicle attached to it is a Volvo L180HL, a front-loader-based machine designed for moving logs. Lots of them. This brilliant Technic recreation of the log-grabbing Volvo is the...

High Five
It’s not just Chrysler from an earlier post this week that went mad for a bit. The French have a history of going berserk, automotively speaking, with even Renualt – who currently manufacture nothing...

Tips Welcome
We like workhorsey-type vehicles here at The Lego Car Blog. This is perhaps because, whilst we frequently blog Ferraris and Lamborghinis, we’re rather far removed from those in the real world; this...

‘That’ Toyota Supra
If there’s one car responsible for the over-hyping of an entire model line-up, this is it. Brian O’Connor’s ’10 second’ Toyota Supra from 2001’s ‘The Fast and the Furious’ took a fairly fat, mostly...

Stick it to ’em
